My new truck

[mike14_07]

Bought this truck about a month ago, been getting it reliable and taking crap off, its been repainted once a long time ago, has the original 283 (someone painted blue) 3 on the tree, its pretty straight, has a bit of rust. but it runs great and has a good patina look. Plans are throw my 383 4 speed muncie combo in it, put a 5/7 drop on it, mild interior redo, and replace all th the weather stripping.

Looks like you polished a test section on the hood.
That's a good color.
Nice truck.

I love it, the blue is likely original, I am pretty sure that chevy painted their truck V8's a blue/gray colour.
Did I mention that I really, really like it?

Thanks guys the motor paint is about the same color as the truck or whats left. from the looks of it it was painted in the truck hahaha overspray on the old belts, pulleys, and hoses

cool truck. i know i don't get a vote, but I say keep the lil 283! It's a great combo. but you can't go wrong, after all, you do own a swb lt blue '66.... I'm just sayin!

i like the 283 its a great runner pops right off every time been driving it daily for 2 weeks. im definetly putting it in the garage if i ever want to go back original. my 383 looks completely original tho, besides the caddy a/c.
